Dog Worship

Dog worship is the worship of dogs. It is rare, although some peoples have been said to practice it:
  • The Nosarii of western Asia are said to worship a dog.
  • The Kalangs of Java had a cult of the red dog, each family keeping one in the house. According to one authority, the dogs are images of wood that are worshipped after the death of a member of the family and burnt after a thousand days.
  • In Nepal it is said that dogs are worshipped at the festival called Khicha Puja.
  • Among the Harranians dogs were sacred, but this was rather as brothers of the mystae.
